Strengths
- “Foxdell Primary School is a supportive and welcoming community, putting pupils at the centre of all it does.”
- “The school celebrates the diverse cultures and backgrounds of its community, ensuring a safe and happy environment for every child.”
- “The school has high expectations for both behaviour and learning.”
To improve
- “However, with many new staff, including those new to the profession, some areas of the curriculum are not taught as effectively as others.”
- “For example, while strong systems are in place to identify pupils with barriers to learning, such as pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) or pupils who are new to speaking English, some staff are still developing the skills needed to consistently adapt learning to meet pupils’ differing needs and help them to be as successful as they can.”
- “However, during child-initiated learning, adults are sometimes unclear about the purpose and learning goals of activities meant to encourage independent play.”
